Toucans - Year 6 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Toucans

Summer 2

Welcome to Toucans and our class page. 

I hope you have had a relaxed and restful half term holiday and I am sure that, like me, you are still waiting for drier days and some sunshine to lead us into the last half term of the year.  I have confidence that it will come!

Here is a brief overview of the areas of learning that we will be focusing on during this next this half term.

As always, please ensure that your child brings in the correct P.E. kit and trainers every Monday morning and that it stays in school for the week.  Please make sure that your child has the correct school kit and that it is labelled clearly, so lost items can be returned to their rightful owner. Please also provide a water bottle and waterproof coat for your child every day as we never know what the weather might do!

I would also ask you to remind the children that long hair should be tied fully back and no jewellery should be worn in school.  Earrings must be removed or covered for PE and watches left off during these lessons. 

Once the sun appears, please remember a sun hat for protection and field shoes to ensure that they are able play on and enjoy the field, even if the grass is a little damp.  

Toucans will continue to be taught by Mrs Austin on a Friday morning and this will have a PE and play rehearsal focus.

Homework will be project led this half term.  I will share the plan with the class in the first week of the new half term and  I will continue to message parents each Friday with any additional infromation.  Please support your child with completing their homework, buidling good habits, as this both supports their learning and prepares them for what is to come at high school. 

As we always encourage, daily reading is essential for all children and in Upper KS2 and we advise that you read for 15-20 minutes per day with your child, no matter their proficiency level.

Drama club will begin for all Year 6 children after schcool each Thursday from the 6th June.  Our dress rehearsal of Doctor Dolittle, for Key Stage One, will be during the afternoon of Tuesday 16th July and the evening performances for families will be on Wednesday the 17th and Thursday 18th of July. 

To keep up to date with what is happening in our class, make sure you regularly check our school's Twitter/X feed.
